A MAJORITY of ethnic minority Britons believe the Royal Family IS racist, a new YouGov survey shows.<\/p>\n

The poll also found that 43 per cent of non-white voters want to abolish the monarchy despite 67 per cent having a "positive" view of the Queen.<\/p>\n

This comes after Meghan Markle's bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in which she claimed a member of the royals asked "how dark" her unborn son's skin would be.<\/p>\n

A total of 43 per cent think the Windsors are "racist" compared to 27 per cent who don't while 30 per cent said they "don't know."<\/p>\n

And when asked if the couple – who quit as senior royals last year – had been treated "fairly" by the palace, 49 per cent replied "no."<\/p>\n

On the subject of abolishing the monarchy 43 per cent said "yes" while 40 per cent replied "no."<\/p>\n

The survey, which was conducted days after the Oprah interview, polled 504 people from ethic minority backgrounds.<\/p>\n

Anthony Wells, a director of YouGov, told The Times: \u201cOur polling of ethnic-minority attitudes suggests the Royal Family need to mend some fences.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cMore optimistically, while ethnic-minority Britons have a generally negative perception of Charles and Camilla, the Queen herself, Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge all have strongly positive ratings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meghan and Harry's chat with broadcasting legend Oprah has sparked a crisis within the Royal Family.<\/p>\n

When discussing why they quit Britain to live in California, Meghan discussed struggles with her mental health as well as alleging racism within the royal household.<\/p>\n

Harry also claimed that none of his relatives spoke out in support of his wife following the alleged negative coverage she faced in the press.<\/p>\n

The Duchess spoke of being suicidal but claimed she received no help from The Firm after telling palace aides that she was suffering.<\/p>\n

Following the interview, Prince William shut down the racism claims, insisting: "We're very much not a racist family."<\/p>\n
